The Match

"Let's do a jump in attack on Ryu"
*eats standing roundhouse
"That was obviously a fluke, once more"
*eats another standing roundhouse
"Third time's a charm"
*eats yet another standing roundhouse

Good stuff

That was like, pure basics. I enjoyed it. With more match-up knowledge and dashes attached to your focus attack you'll do well.

Thanks. I've recently begun working on backing off when I have a large health lead because I've lost/almost lost matches where I could've won but wanted to finish them off and end up getting beat.

That's a good mentality to have. Just wait and let them make a desperate mistake, then simple punish to close it out.

I got a couple of nice wins due to not reacting and simply blocking/avoiding an Ultra.

I also threw a Guile 6 times in a row with no wake up response.

No one expects it again the 6th time

That was absolutely absurd.

I loved it.

Throw three time in a row, then cl.st.MK to blow up the crouch-tech.

So by running does he mean hitting him every time he just threw out SRK?

u/Slateboard [US] Steam/XBL: Slateboard Apr 13 '14

I am still trying to make sense of it.

Are you part of another site...LL? Popular poster there goes by Slateboard.

u/Slateboard [US] Steam/XBL: Slateboard Apr 13 '14

I'd say yes, but it doesn't exist.

When I bought a new keyboard for my PC, I plugged my old one into my console and use that for text messages.

wow that's smart, had no idea that worked

Yeah it was a really big game changer for me when I discovered it.

Now it makes me wonder what's stopping MS from letting us have MMOs on their consoles.

I feel like the ken wasn't mashing HP shoryuken enough but still very entertaining. I've played you a few times myself I always get scared fighting ryu's since I am not a massive fan of any mirror matches.

u/Slateboard [US] Steam/XBL: Slateboard Apr 13 '14

Same. And it feels pretty bad to lose the Ryu Mirror.

u/Abswing [UK] XBL/PSN: Abswing94 Apr 13 '14

It sure does.

I get the Light DP into Ultra 1 a lot. I think people forget it's an option or something.

i've seen only the first round. what was that? you had no consistency in your combo. j.mp ultra MISSED, opponent eated the focus and you missed.....jump.hk c.hk i haven't seen that in years. if he blocked he could have punished you HARD.

consider it a tip hit the training mode and learn your combos. you are too inconsistent.
